Dear Applicants,
Thank you for your interest in the Radcliffe Fellowship Program.
We regret to inform you that, due to circumstances beyond our control and beyond the control of our 2025-2026 admitted fellows, we have had to allow an unprecedented number of deferrals to the 2026-2027 fellowship cohort. We strive each year to create a cohort that reflects a wide range of disciplinary and professional backgrounds, and this has forced us to recalibrate. In practical terms this means that we are unable to consider new applications for academic year 2026-2027 in the following disciplines: Film and Video, Music, Playwriting, Poetry, and Visual Arts.
We are disappointed by this turn of events and truly sorry for this unexpected change. Please know that we are grateful for your interest in our program, and for your understanding as we navigate these circumstances. We hope you will consider applying again in the future and wish you every success in finding support for your project.
With warm regards,
The Fellowship Program Team
